Schwarzenegger didn't know he fathered Baena's child until the child was a toddler and looked more and more like him. Joseph Baena was born only five days after Maria Shriver gave birth to her fourth child by Schwarzenegger, Christopher, therefore the children basically grew up alongside each other in the same home. Schwarzenegger revealed his illegitimate child to his wife during a marriage counseling sessions.

He was growing it out to prepare for his role in Conan the Barbarian Mentioned in the song and later music video House of Pain: Jump Around Needless to say, the friendship did not continue. Has worked with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an anti-hate organization for decades.
During filming of Total Recall , he noticed that Michael Ironside was constantly on the phone between takes. When he broached the subject with Ironside, he was told the he was phoning his sister and that she was currently suffering from cancer. Arnold immediately brought Michael to his trailer and they had an hour-long 3-way conversation with Ironside's sister about what exercises she should do and what kinds of foods she should be eating.
Ironside has never forgotten Schwarzenegger's kindness and neither has his sister. An animatronic of his head attached to caterpillar tracks was used in a PPI awareness advert. Was inspired to become a bodybuilder after seeing Reg Park 's performance in Hercules in the Haunted World Has a pet miniature pony named Whiskey, which was also the name of Kirk Douglas 's horse in The Villain in which Arnold co-starred.
His role as hero and his own existence as character is questioned by the villain in four of his movies: Conan the Barbarian , Red Heat , Kindergarten Cop and Total Recall Born on the same date as William Atherton. He is a big fan of musician Randy Travis. Became a grandfather, for the first time, when daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger gave birth to a baby girl named Lyla Maria Pratt on August 10, I was always interested in proportion and perfection.
When I was 15 I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. When I stared at myself naked, I realized that to be perfectly proportioned I would need inch arms to match the rest of me.
Everything I have ever done in my life has always stayed. I've just added to it. Because when you are successful and you change, you are an idiot.
I know that if you leave dishes in the sink, they get sticky and hard to wash the next day. I love the Hong Kong style of action movies, but that only looks good for small guys.
The reason why the whole style was developed over there was because those guys were very puny guys - they're not powerful-looking guys, they're also not powerful guys. There's no weightlifting champion coming out of Hong Kong - maybe in the bantam division or the lightweight division or something like that, but normally you don't have really strong men coming out of there.
So that's where the martial arts came from. In the beginning I was selfish. It was all about, "How do I build Arnold? How can I win the most Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympic contests? How can I get into the movies and get into business? As I've grown up, got older, maybe wiser, I think your life is judged not by how much you have taken but by how much you give back. I regret that. This is a different Arnold.
The thing is you can do it, because, in the end, I didn't do it to a woman - she's a machine. We could get away with it without being crucified by who knows what group. There's a lot of people who want me to get out of acting and want me to run for governor. I think it's mostly movie critics. You have to remember something: Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn. I took more abuse in Predator than I did in Conan the Barbarian I fell down that waterfall [40 feet] and swam in this ice-cold water for days and for weeks was covered in mud.
It was freezing in the Mexican jungle. They had these heat lamps on all the time, but they were no good. If you stayed in front of the lamps, the mud dried. Then, you had to take it off and put new mud on again. It was a no-win situation. The location was tough. Never on flat ground. Always on a hill. We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up. It was terrible. It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.
President [ George Bush ] knows you can't reason with people that are blinded by hate. But let me tell you something: Their hate is no match for our decency, their hate is no match for the leadership and the resolve of George Bush.
Guess who were the dogs? I knew that I wanted to play the part of the Terminator as soon as I started reading. The important thing to me is that I'm doing work that people enjoy out there, that the movie makes good money, that the studio makes the money back, and that I'm having a great time at what I'm doing. I don't even consider myself serious. So how do I expect people to take me serious? I think this whole Hollywood thing has to be taken much looser.
One of them was Conan the Barbarian , because it was the first time I did a film with that kind of budget and I had the title role. The next big stepping-stone was The Terminator With "The Terminator", I think people became aware of the fact that I didn't really have to take my shirt off or run around and expose my muscles in order to sell tickets. After I did "The Terminator" and we had seen it be more successful than the Conan films, people then sent me a variety of different kinds of scripts - all in the action-adventure genre, but they were not muscle movies or Viking movies or pirate movies or anything like that.
That can be difficult when you're walking through a door with its frame on fire, trying to reload a gun, and at the same time thinking in the back of your mind that people have accidents doing these kinds of stunts and that it might be my turn. According to what we know about the future, there were hundreds of Terminators built. The story of the Terminator could go on forever. Can you slaughter people and never see blood? Is it possible? You must have battles.
That's part of life, war, and the world of Conan. It turned out that Fleischer thought [ John Milius '] decision to keep Conan clothed throughout the first film was a mistake. Fleischer believes that people want to see my body much more often than they did the first time around, so they will. I spend most of my time in Conan the Destroyer fighting off people while I'm dressed in a loincloth. It caught me off guard and I went right over the ledge. I fell ten feet and landed on my back.
I was covered with scratches and bruises. It was probably a pretty good beginning for this movie, though. It set the tone for the whole time we were there. This was going to be fun. Other people said, "Look, he's not working and he just feels like he should maybe get involved in politics". Instead, I just think that maybe he is jealous that I did jump in. I find it silly, because I respect his work. Well, I think because a lot of people don't know why I'm a Republican, I came first of all from a socialistic country which is Austria and when I came over here in with the presidential elections coming up in November, I came over in October, I heard a lot of the press conferences from both of the candidates, [ Hubert H.
Humphrey ] and [ Richard Nixon ], and Humphrey was talking about more government is the solution, protectionism, and everything he said about government involvement sounded to me more like Austrian socialism. Then when I heard Nixon talk about it, he said open up the borders, the consumers should be represented there ultimately and strengthen the military and get the government off our backs. I said to myself, "What is this guy's party affiliation?
So I asked my friend, "What is Nixon? And I said, "I am a Republican". That's how I became a Republican. The facts do not justify overturning the jury's verdict, or the decisions of the courts in this case.
As a kid - as a kid I saw socialist - the socialist country that Austria became after the Soviets left. Now don't misunderstand me: I love Austria and I love the Austrian people. But I always knew that America was the place for me. In school, when the teacher would talk about America, I would daydream about coming here.
I would daydream about living here. I would sit there and watch for hours American movies, transfixed by my heroes, like John Wayne. Everything about America seemed so big to me, so open, so possible. I have no sexual standards in my head that say this is good or this is bad. Homosexual - that only means to me that he enjoys sex with a man and I enjoy sex with a woman.
It's all legitimate to me. I didn't think about money. I thought about the fame, about just being the greatest. I was dreaming about being some dictator of a country or some savior like Jesus. I'm 6'2". I've heard rumors that I'm really much shorter in real life like 5'6" or something like that - which is ridiculous. I can assure you this is not the case. People look up to me, and not just because I do a lot of work in the community.
I mean, most people really look up to me. California will not wait for our federal government to take strong action on global warming. We won't wait for the federal government. We will move forward because we know it's the right thing to do. We will lead on this issue and we will get other western states involved. I think there's not great leadership from the federal government when it comes to protecting the environment.
Money doesn't make you happy. But what's important is to entertain the people -- everything else means nothing. Other than my parents, there may be no single person who had more to do with me becoming the person I am today than Reg. He was like a second father to me. It was Reg who impressed upon me how hard I would have to work if I wanted to achieve my dreams.
I'll always remember him making me do calf-raises with 1, pounds at 5 o'clock in the morning. There are such high standards and now there are always new standards being set for action. That was an excellent movie! There was this train coming down from a bridge, falling, and they're fighting inside the train car. Jesus, that is unbelievable that you can do that. To have the imagination to write it and the talent to shoot it and make it real on the screen.
It's a whole new dimension. With Batman and Terminator, those big movies, there's a certain expectation and if you don't live up to it, if the movie is not a 10, then the business will be soft. If Terminator Salvation is pushing it forward, it will be breaking records all the time.
If director McG has the T4 and the kind of shots that has the audience thinking, 'Now how did he do that? I do hope it creates a spectacle on the screen.
That is what James Cameron created. I don't know if there is one or if he's the star or the hero. These are the things that determine the success and how strong the movie will be. I know California is supposed to be a place where dreams come true, but my life has gone way beyond the dream.
My dream was to come to America, become the greatest bodybuilder of all time and do what Reg Park had done by going into Hercules movies.
And if that worked out, I was going to build a gym business and then live happily ever after. Then all of a sudden I shot right by my dream. I stopped doing the strong man stuff, did the Terminator movies and became the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. Though there were serious questions about his personal life, Michael was undoubtedly a great entertainer and his popularity spanned generations and the globe.
He played a wide range of characters both on stage and in movies and his celebrated performances made the hard work of acting look effortless - which I know from experience is not easy.
As a fan and as an actor, I admired Patrick and I know that he will be dearly missed. On behalf of all Californians, Maria and I send our deepest condolences to Patrick's family, friends and fans.
I am here to spend. I love to spend Hollywood's money! June And for him to still be so athletic and be able to rip off his shirt and have a six-pack is just unbelievable. I saw his extraordinary talent and ability to inspire generations of Americans firsthand on the set of Christmas in Connecticut ' and will always remember our times together.
So it depends if someone comes with a great script or a great idea All of those things, I don't know, but I did have a meeting with James Cameron , we talked about some very important things.
The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. On the power of visualizing your goals When I was very young, I visualized myself being and having what it was that I wanted.
The mind is really so incredible. Before I won my first Mr. Universe, I walked around the tournament like I owned it. The title was already mine. I had won it so many times in my mind that there was no doubt I would win it. Then, when I moved on to the movies, the same thing. I visualized myself being a successful actor and earning big money. I could feel and taste success. I just knew it would happen. It tried hard, not that they didn't try, the acting and everything - it missed the boat.
You never have to smoke a joint. You just go on a bicycle ride in the morning, inhale, and you live off everyone else. You realize you have to pay no attention to the naysayers. When you learn those lessons in sports, you can apply those lessons for the rest of your life. After all, it was petty cash compared to what you make in the movies. You can't have a life full of successes. In bodybuilding, I tried bench-pressing lb many times and failed.
That's how you get there. You have to be daring. They're writing right now Terminator Genisys There have been some writers on it for the last year-and-a-half and they could not pull it off. We have told them over and over that they are going in the wrong direction, now they've finally got rid of those writers and they've got new really quality writers.
Now they're going in the right direction. I think this year the script will be finished and we will be able to go into pre-production. He was there for me constantly throughout my life, and I will miss him dearly. I turned it into drive. To this day, I'm more comfortable when there's someone to schmooze with until I fall asleep.
When you grow up in a harsh environment, you never forget how to withstand physical punishment, even long after the hard times end.
If you wanted a girl, you had to make an effort to have a conversation, not just drool like a horny dog. Most bodybuilders don't have very interesting insights or routines. In America, unlike Europe, there weren't a million obstacles to starting a business. After coming to California, I posed in the heights above Malibu. Bodybuilders like this spot because the ridges in the distance seem little and your muscles look bigger than the mountains.
Nights without sleep don't mean you can't perform at a high level the next day and days without food don't mean you'll starve. When you have a relationship in a foreign language, you have to be extra careful not to miscommunicate. I couldn't believe how difficult learning a new language could be. Pronunciations were especially dangerous. Universe, Mr. World and Mr. Olympia] Winning all three would be like unifying the heavyweight title in boxing: it would make me the undisputed world champion.
Mr World was by far the biggest bodybuilding event I'd ever seen. In bodybuilding I was king of the mountain, but in everyday LA I was just another immigrant struggling to learn English and make a life. I was glad to be away living my own life. The more popular bodybuilding grew in prisons, the more guys would get the message to behave. Winning narrowly didn't make me feel good; I wanted my dominance to be clear. He died not long after.
Real estate was the place to invest. The math of real estate really spoke to me. Bodybuilders look in the mirror as they train. You need to be your own trainer. If millions of people came to see my movies someday, it was important that they know where the muscles came from. I wanted to promote bodybuilding, both so that more people would take part and to benefit my career. If I wanted to promote bodybuilding to a new audience, I'd have to find my own way. I find joy in the gym because every rep and every set gets me one step closer to my goal.
I had no idea that reading from a script means you're supposed to act out the role. In bodybuilding, you try to suppress emotions and march forwards with determination; in acting its the opposite. To live your life as an actor, you can't be afraid of someone stirring up your emotions.
Sometimes its hard to explain to your toddler what you do at the office. I've been retired from bodybuilding since but I'll always stay involved. I get goosebumps when Nelson Mandela talks about inclusion, tolerance and forgiveness. Hide Show Thanks 17 credits. Video documentary thanks. Hide Show Self credits.
